Enantioselective organocatalytic fluorination-induced Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement
Romanov-Michailidis, Fedor,Guénée, Laure,Alexakis, Alexandre
, p. 9266 - 9270 (2013)
Cracked under strain: Strained allylic cyclobutanols and cyclopropanols readily undergo a ring expansion described by the title rearrangement. This reaction is promoted by catalytic amounts of 1 and displays high tolerance with respect to the substrate scope. The corresponding β-fluoro spiroketone products are isolated in high yields and with excellent stereoselectivities. EDG=electron-donating group, EWG=electron-withdrawing group. Copyright

A shorter path: A highly enantioselective bromocyclization of tryptamine has been developed using an anionic chiral phase-transfer catalyst. This method provides a direct approach for preparing chiral 3-bromopyrroloindoline from tryptamine, which enables a four-step enantioselective synthesis of (-)-chimonanthine. PG=protecting group.

The first example of an enantioselective carbocyclization of an alkyne-containing substrate catalyzed by chiral Br?nsted acids was achieved. The use of the 2-hydroxynaphthyl substituent on the alkyne as a directing group constituted the key parameter enabling both efficient regioselective protonation of the carbon–carbon triple bond and chiral induction. The key cationic intermediate could be depicted either as a cationic vinylidene ortho-quinone methide or a stabilized vinyl cation. Atropoisomeric phenanthrenes derivatives were produced in high yields and good enantioselectivities under mild, metal-free reaction conditions in the presence of chiral N-triflylphosphoramide catalysts. The carbenic nature of the cationic intermediate was also exploited to describe an example of alkyne/alkane cycloisomerization.
Enantioselective halogenative semi-pinacol rearrangement: Extension of substrate scope and mechanistic investigations

The present Full Paper article discloses a survey of our recent results obtained in the context of the enantioselective halogenation-initiated semi-pinacol rearrangement. Commencing with the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction first and moving to the heavier halogens (bromine and iodine) second, the scope and limitations of the halogenative phase-transfer methodology will be discussed and compared. An extension of the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction to the ring-expansion of five-membered allylic cyclopentanols will be also described, as well as some preliminary results on substrates prone to desymmetrization will be given. Finally, the present manuscript will culminate with a detailed mechanistic investigation of the canonical fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction. Our mechanistic discussion will be based on in situ reaction progress monitoring, complemented with substituent effect, kinetic isotopic effect and non-linear behaviour studies.
